ทRAGAN BREAKS THE TOP 12--Quietly, very quietly, David Ragan has put together a string of races
good enough to land the #6 team into the all-important Top 12. His stealth-like
crashing of the T12 party should earn the young Georgian some much-needed
exposure.

run at Darlington has the unsponsored Yates Racing
#28 team just 111 points and 6 spots out of the Top 12.Over the last five races, Kvapil
has more points than any other Chase contender currently outside the T12. Wow.

ทKENSETHS RUN THE BEGINNING?--MattKenseths
6th at Darlington was crucial to give the #17
team some positive momentum. He gained 51 points on 12th and now
lurks 153 points out of the T12.
